🎵 Revised Verse 1 I thought I gave hope, like a bridge through the flood Spoke like a savior, but my hands drew mud Built up their dreams with a borrowed voice But the echo came back, and it stole my choice 🎵 Verse 2 I walked like a king, but my crown was clay Tried to lift the broken, but I lost my way They looked for shelter, I gave ‘em rain Now I sit with my stories and a fistful of shame 🎶 Chorus (Repeat) Delusions of grandeur, dressed up in gold I preached like a prophet, but my words got cold Thought I was a lighthouse, but I was just a blur I gave ‘em my shadow, not what they deserved 🎵 Bridge (Spoken, over slide guitar) I meant well, Lord knows I tried But good intent don’t stop the tide I sang for the lost, but I sang off key And the blues came back to bury me 🎶 Final Chorus (Slow & Soulful) Delusions of grandeur, carved in stone I built a throne, but I sat alone Thought I gave hope, but I gave a blur Now I live with my… delusions of grandeur
